2010 Honda Accord Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2011	4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	6'4" and plenty of head and leg room. Leather seats and lumbar support fit me well. see full Honda Accord review
2011	4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Another reason I'm glad I got the EX model. The power lumbar on the drivers seat is my backs best friend. Even after 16 hour days and 1100 miles, my back is fine. Excellent seats! see full Honda Accord review
2010	4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Spacing is good, material use is comfortable. see full Honda Accord review
2009	4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Even with the front driver and passenger seats move all the way to the back of their tracks and reclined somewhat, there is still plenty of legroom for backseat passengers (even 6 footers). This is really a full size sedan and not a mid-size. see full Honda Accord review
2009	4dr Sedan 190-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed automatic FWD	Front seats offer plenty of range of motion. They are comfortable for extended periods of time. Side bolsters are not too soft, not to rigid. Just right. see full Honda Accord review
2009	4dr Sedan 271-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic FWD	Placement and tactile feel. see full Honda Accord review

2010	4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.4L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Lumbar support is too aggressive, and it is non-adjustable in the LX model. I have gotten used to them, but they are nowhere near the same league as my previously owned Saabs and BMWs. see full Honda Accord review

2014 Buick Verano Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	The Buick Verano's impression of substance and solidity extends to its seats. The front buckets are larger and more thickly padded than those in the typical compact sedan, yet have a firm, properly supportive underlying structure. They look and feel "premium." The Acura ILX's front seats, with more prominent side bolsters, provide better lateral support in hard turns, but don't feel as solid or as luxurious. see full Buick Verano review

Year	Comment
	While the Buick Verano's exterior is large for a compact sedan, its rear seat is among the tightest. The ILX is a bit tighter still. In it I can just fit behind my 5-9 self. But anyone who requires an adult-friendly rear seat will likely reject both cars (along with the new Cadillac ATS). The Verano's 14.5 cubic foot trunk--two cubes over the ILX's--is more competitive, and more in line with Buick's traditional strengths. see full Buick Verano review

2014 Buick Verano Seat Room and Comfort: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Sedan 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I'm 6'3. With the seat all the way back I can't reach the pedals. I really don't need to say more. see full Buick Verano review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I am 6'1", broad shouldered, overweight, and considered quite a big guy, but I have no trouble fitting into the car. Even if you are a couple of inches higher than me, you should be okay. Be advised I chose a car without a sunroof. The sunroof may cut into that headroom. see full Buick Verano review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	The seat cushioning is about the best in the business. The foam density Buick used is unlike any I have experienced. see full Buick Verano review

2014 Buick Verano Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2014	4dr Sedan 180-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	If you're tall, prepare for cramping if you have anyone needing to sit behind you. I cannot explain the lack of room here. With my seat in my long range riding position (as far back as I can go with my feet still reaching the pedals) there is 1 and a half inches between the edge of the back seat and the kneeboard on the back of the drivers seat. There is no human capable of putting their leg behind that. see full Buick Verano review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	No rear seat venting except the floor makes it a bit stuffy for the rear seat passengers. The rear seating area is tight to get into but once seated provide enough space. see full Buick Verano review
2013	4dr Sedan turbocharged 250hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD	My right knee(with shorts on) hits the hard plastic to discomfort. I thought about putting some padding there. Same with the lack of padding inside the map pocket on the door to keep contents from rattleing. see full Buick Verano review
